2007-09-10git-gui: Localize commit/author dates when displaying themShawn O. Pearce
Currently the Git plumbing is not localized so it does not know how to output weekday and month names that conform to the user's locale preferences. This doesn't fit with the rest of git-gui's UI as some of our dates are formatted in Tcl and some are just read from the Git plumbing so dates aren't consistently presented. Since git-for-each-ref is presenting us formatted dates and it offers no way to change that setting even in git 1.5.3.1 we need to first do a parse of the text strings it produces, correct for timezones, then reformat the timestamp using Tcl's formatting routines. Not exactly what I wanted to do but it gets us consistently presented date strings in areas like the blame viewer and the revision picker mega-widget's tooltips. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
